Beautiful, mesmerizing Lake Atitlan
I’ve been feeling really bad about leaving my Heifer blog behind and abandoning all my new followers –love you guys!! — who haven’t been getting any new posts from me.
I met these organic foodies in Quilinco, a little mountain town north of Huehuetenango.
So I’ve decided to go back and do a little remix of photos & stories from each of the countries I visited last year…. starting with lovely Guatemala.

All dressed up & ready for the Feast of Maria Candelaria. (Post-celebration aspirin close by.)
These piglets saw me from across the courtyard and stalked right towards me like a little rock band… such attitude!!
And always, the Guatemalan children will melt your heart.
Here are the links to my other posts from Guatemala from 2012. (Why did I write so many?? Boy, that overachieving thing sure faded quickly….)
Enjoy!

And I’m leaving for Guatemala again tomorrow (on a non-Heifer trip) … stay tuned for more!
